Just to get the facts straight. What was the Dealers 'Offcial' writeup of the damage to the JK?

Why? Here's a pic of the JK intake (from my JK - I have an AEM system with an Outerwears prefilter):



The water would have to come in, go down the intake tube, then back up and through the filter (while not draining out the holes in the intake). If the OP submerged the JK then 'maybe' but.....somehow I don't thing we're getting the whole story.

JKtester, I'm on your side... the Jeep died in water, the Dealer says water ingestion, the insurance company agrees, there is internal damage to the engine, yet people are still questioning if there was water that go into the engine. I suspect that even photos of the damaged parts will not stop people from questioning "did water actually get in the engine?"
I think it's more along the lines of I don't want JKTester ripped off. If Insurance is involved then DCX has already declined the claim and has probably voided the powertrain warranty on the JK. This should be on the RO (especially if the Insurance adjuster agreed). Say the Jeep gets rebuilt, whats to stop this happeneing again?

As a JK owner would I want to know what happened - I have a significant investment in my Jeep and don't want it to evaporate by splashing through puddles. Did water get in via a bad seal (say the PCV system)?
